466088 2006-06-25 23:28:00 Hello . About an hour ago my pc started having trouble reading discs .

I have 2 drives . a pioneer 106d a dvd burner and a Compaq DVD-rrom 115 .

iv had both drives for a few years and never had a problem . im using the same ridata 8x dics iv been using for years also . suddenly the drives will only read "retail discs" and blank dvd-r . i try putting a burnt data disc in that i know has worked before and in the pioneer it dosent do anything but load and stop . the compaq loads it longer and gives me the " Windows cannot read this disc . The disc may be corrupted or could be using a formate that is not compattible with windows" error .

I have tried updating my pioneer drivers and IDE drivers . i even switched out a new IDE ribbon . Any other suggestions? THanks in advance

Ritek discs can be dodgy from batch to batch, so you could just have some dud discs.

if you have win XP/2K look here (www.aiscl.co.uk) (since winxp/2k stick the drive in PIO mode automatically if there are read errors)
